I was bad yesterday! So far I had lost 17 pounds, until my cheat last night. I had a dr appt yesterday, after finding a lump on my lower rib cage. (I don't know how long its been there). Dr says its a lipoma (this is supposed to be good, No cancer, buts its still like a tumor.) She also says if it starts bothering me I can have it removed. So its kinda discouraging to loose weight and start finding lumps. And yes, I did eat hashbrown casserole at Cracker Barrel.
On top of that it's that TOM and it must also be for DH-cause he was acting like it to.
(I'm sure some of you ladies know what I mean.)

That said..... I am determined to do better and get back in Ketosis!

Thanks for listening

{{{Hugs}}} What a scare that must have been! Between that and TOM, its no wonder you succumbed to temptation!

Just focus on what you have done so far! You have lost 17 pounds! And more importantly, you have taken control and have decided to get healthy and are taking the right steps to get there!
Hey, we're all human--there are going to be a few slips on the way to a healthier lifestyle. Just pick yourself up and hop right back on the wagon and you will get there in style!

And I do know what you mean about your DH! Mine does this every month!!

Tinker , I had a lipoma just a few months back in my arm right above the elbow and below the shoulder, I had an ultrasound and I didn't have it removed, I was going to but it started disappearing , now it's gone, but I know it scares the heck out of you.
So don't worry, it may stay like that for ages, or disappear.
Sit back, relax and stay on the waggon.

I am happy to see that you are already getting back on track. Don't dwell on the Cracker Barrel meal - it was a moment of weakness in a very stressful time. Thank godness that the lump was not cancer - it must have been a scary moment.

Think about the positives - you have lost so much weight already, you are getting back on track and the lump is not life threatening! Good luck with everything and I know you will be doig great with your diet again in no time.

You sound like you need a hug, a "calgon take me away" bath and some pixie dust!

Glad you are forgiving yourself for your little binge! Hey, you are human, it's ok! Hope that your health improves soon and that you are back in ketosis in no time!

Leave the cheat meal in the past. You have lost 17lbs which is wonderful!!!!! Sometimes stress will make us do things we don't want to do BUT it is over now. Continue on with your program and don't let it discourage you.

As far as the Lipoma, I had one removed from my back last year. It can be very scary to find any sort of a lump. I had it for a few years but it grew in size and was getting very uncomfortable. I had it removed in day surgery. It was a quick recovery and I was told that a lot of times they can be removed right in the Dr's office(mine couldn't because it was so big and was near the spine). At least now you know what it is. Get back on track and continue doing a great job with your weight loss effort!

Your body's metabolism spikes during TOM- so you burn more calories!!! So accept that you had a single cheat and hit tomorrow the way you have been doing- losing 17 pounds is AWESOME!!! And I allow myself a good cheat (atleast make it something worth cheating on- and potato casserole is right up there with the best! ) a month and I don't over portion it- I just eat it. You'll be fine and you came to the right place to get it off your chest!!

ONWARDS & DOWNWARDS!!!
